We have translated the complexity of the subject into an adventure, an inner journey through these sacred texts, to create an experience that is both physical and emotional—a discovery of exceptional works gathered in a single place.

At the turn of the monolithic picture rail introducing the exhibition, visitors enter an immersive mixed-media installation presenting the foundational story of Abraham, who traversed the fertile lands of the Middle East.
After this contextual and vibrant immersion, visitors step into an ethereal palace composed of rooms with a timeless and intangible character. The milky walls, set upon a gleaming floor, evoke a sense of floating and lend a sacred dimension to this segment of the journey. Clay pedestals display deities from ancient polytheistic religions contemporary to Abraham’s life. The experience is enhanced by sound and digital devices, as well as a dedicated children’s path. The journey continues into rooms showcasing sacred texts on engraved clay pedestals.






Emerging from the labyrinth, through a long corridor draped in midnight-blue velvet, visitors enter an infinite nocturnal space. Books open toward the sky capture light like butterflies. Grouped thematically beneath a chandelier of light and speakers, soundscapes swirl through the space like wind through branches.The journey continues into an immersive interactive digital space, where texts from previously explored works are projected. The convergence of words forms a textual architecture managed by artificial intelligence.


Visitors then embark on a technical and initiatory journey across wide floating platforms, uncovering the influences and dissemination techniques of the works. The prescribed path unfolds around a space veiled in sheer fabric, revealing a selection of works chosen for their beauty.


Returning to the palace, a room dedicated to contemporary art features a conical architecture at its center, offering various seating postures. At the heart of the space, a dome-well projects animated images onto the walls, accompanied by a swirling soundscape conducive to contemplation—all enveloped in a perfumed mist that invites meditation.
